Have something to say?

I'm a believer! (well, more than I was)

3-D is... well, it's broken on my card. Not that it really matters to me; the only 3-D I do is getting a framerate from glxgears.

But the 2-D acceleration is phenomenal! Imagine the news side-scroller on the Yahoo! home page, running so slowly that the JavaScript driving it gets to render only one intermediate frame before the scroll completes. That's how bad it was.... until Nouveau. It now scrolls very smoothly for me, better than either the "nv" driver or the proprietary nVidia driver. Who'da thunk?

AdBlock plus runs fine, I don't use NoScript, so I think I know which of the two is the issue.

I'm not sure how Flash can benefit from faster video drivers though. In an ideal world, Flash would use hardware acceleration of some kind, but I don't even know if Flash is capable of using hw-accel on Linux?

Love to talk to you about what hardware/software you're working with. I finally afforded myself a new box fast enough for a Myth system, and have been looking at capture cards, thinking about Haupage 1600 since it's listed as working.

The Radeon 2100 onboard aught to suffice, since it's otherwise rather over-built.
